I bet very small, and this site looks pretty decent for small players. They have a wire transfer, so it looks good

Thoughts?

go to betjm. i am a small player and they are good for that. it depends i guess do you want same day payouts or the possibility of not getting paid or waiting 3 weeks? If the second is better for you then play at oddsmaker.

R3,

I can't talk you out of playing there if you want too. All I can do is point out the problems that have been reported by other posters on this book. Which you can find in this thread.

Completely disagree with the Oddsmaker.com rating on SBR. Nonsense. Sorry, but their customer service is the best I've ever seen ... you get a live person in less than 10 seconds everytime via online chat. Just did my first withdrawal ... we are talking a good amount of money here (4 figures). Got the check in less than 2 weeks. All of you people who are trying to get freebies and break the rules by playing parlays disgust me because 1)You have broken the rules 2)You have the adacity to take shots at this company for taking away your promotional funds for breaking the rules. Have you ever made a deposit here? If you haven't, stop complaining. I had an account at Bet On Sports a long time ago and really got screwed there. I had a BoDog account and they are not as easy to deal with as they are at Oddsmaker.
Simply put, this company is honest and legit and the best I've ever dealt with. Someone should re-review this company.

I think their rating of D- is accurate. They have a history of canceling players win who won with promotional money by changing rules after the fact.

One promotion they have: give players a free $100 account, and you can withdraw it if you get it between $1000 and $1500. This gets players to try the book. If the player actually wins, they come up with a reason not to pay the player.

There are no freebies in life. I believe that the truth has been altered by people who don't admit to breaking the rules. While I cannot validate whether or not people have not gotten the funds for playing fairly, I can validate outside of their freebies they are a very honest place to play. For the problem having to do with their promo, I would certainly say that does not warrant to make them a D- book. Sorry, undeserving. Customer service is better than half the books that SBR has at A grades ... withdrawal was fast and seamless, and to give them a D- rating for one slight imperfection makes me look at SBR and grade your rating system a D- ... very poor job of how you grade. Rethink the grading system and do a little more research and maybe some of these companies with A marks are really B's, and some of these D minus companies (at least 1 ... ie Oddsmaker) is deserving at the very least a B or B+. In my eyes, however, they are an A place to play and the players funds ARE NOT AT RISK as you claim in your little grading chart. That right there is the most inaccurate thing I have read about them - well guess what, A promo does not involve players' funds. It looks like you contradict yourselves.

I signed up for the $100 promo a while back and it stated I had to get between $1,000 and $1,200 to cash out. I inquired to this the other day because I was getting close and they said it is now $1,500 and $2,000.

Hmmmmmmmm...........

Default Oddsmaker.com Promo

Last fall when I received the promo it said between 1500 and 2000 for cashout, so there have been no rule changes ... it still says between 1500 and 2000 on the site. I have a very good memory, so the fact that you have 1200 when the rules say between 1500 and 2000 means that you cannot cash out. Maybe you should have signed up from a site that actually clarified recent promotion terms rather than terms that are probably outdated from years ago. Again, legit company and you are posting slander when you are at fault for NOT READING THE TERMS ON THE ODDSMAKER.COM WEBSITE!!! GET REAL!!

Oddsmaker stiffed SBR poster Jackpot for about 60k, half his jackpot. It's partner/sister site Futurebet/SportsbookUSA has owed players for years and stolen the bankroll from other turnkey books. Oddsmaker is the same ownership as BetOnUSA. The group is very good at selective theft.

Welcome to the board EastCoast.

How true this post is about oddsmaker.com. Read the reviews they are a d- site (should be an F). I only wish I joined the SBR earlier. Everybody who received bounced checks probably will never be paid.
